Got Gas???
 

My son just came home and said that all the gas stations he passed were out of gas....had those yellow bags over the pumps and the prices were taken down. :eek:

Is this happening anywhere else? I didn't watch the Noon news so I didn't get to hear about any other areas this happening in.

Gosh, I hope it resolves itself quickly. Oh, and he said he paid over $5 a gallon for mid-grade gas last night (his car uses the high grade stuff but they were out of it).

I'm sorta glad I don't drive much anymore....:o

Someone told me yesterday that in WI, near by the gas was up to $6. a gallon...but I called someone I know there and it wasnt....but ppl were like quick it is going up..and spazzing out....

It didnt go up..I just got it for 3.94 but today now it is 4.14 so maybe creeping.....hugss,sarah

I heard a bit on the news today, not sure if I have it correctly, but they are saying there may be a gas shortage because of Ike. President Bush said he just wants to make sure the people won't get ripped off over this.

filled up yesterday (southern Wisconsin) for $3.82/gallon ... don't need gas for another week or so ...

heard that gas may jump 50c within minutes ... but, they better not be price-gouging ... or look out!

guess, we'll have to get out the chain oil and lube up our bikes!

I filled up before it went up but can't tell you how much it is since Jim and I haven't been out since Friday. My sister said it was up to $5 in Huntsville and people were complaining about price gouging.

Our Governor has issued some sort of statement or something warning against price gouging. I think the store owners could face jail time or a fine or both. I need to familiarize myself on it.

I put $20 worth in Kevin's truck yesterday and it put it up to 1/4 tank...it was $4.29/gal then. Since Kevin drives my car back and forth to work I use the truck every now and then just to run to the store or pharmacy. Both are within a mile of the house so I feel safe doing that. Anything else and I'd be worried.

I do hope it evens out and doesn't get back to where it was not too long ago.....

We got gas alright..:)
It did go up quite a bit (I thought), but nowhere near "gouging" territory. Friday morning it was 3.38, by afternoon 3.48. Yesterday it was 3.59..Who know's where it's at today..??

YES!! I was surprised to see some jacking the prices up and it still caused a run on gas. Many stations are out of Premium and mid-grade. Costco ran out of everything on Friday. Sam's Club still had regular gas at $3.84 gal this morning. Many smaller stations say they won't get more until Thursday or Friday.

A friend who owns 3 stations in rural Mississippi, can't get any gas delivered until this week sometime and was told by his distributor that his cost would be $5.80 a gal. He told them he wouldn't buy at that price because if the price dropped the next week, he couldn't compete with stores that move more volume... when they would have lower prices the next week.

went up around here anywhere from 25-30 cents, i found one station that had not changed over yet and tossed 50 in :Bang-Head:, that should keep me going for a while, paid 4.23 a gallon
